Pokemon (ポケモン) is one of Nintendo's most successful and profitable media franchise to date, with cash cows in various markets such as video games, anime, manga, toys, books, and trading cards. Even the items that you use in your daily life (kitchen utensils, clothing, food, home appliances, etc..) is guaranteed to have a Pokemon version of it somewhere (most probably Japan). The thing that started it all was the Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター,, Poketto Monsuta) video game for Nintendo's Game Boy system created by Satoshi Tajiri back 1995, and a year later changed to "Pokemon" for it's western version.

One of the most notable characters was Pikachu (yellow-colored mouse with electricial powers), it is regarded as the official mascot of the Pokemon franchise and today we have it in papercraft form. This Pikachu papercraft is from Chokipeta, and you know what that means, it's going to be an easy and fun build. Enjoy!
